Gabi DeMartino is opening up about the reason she no longer attends VidCon.

The 23-year-old YouTuber revealed that she had a scary experience during a meet and greet back in 2016 and hasn’t returned since then.

Gabi explained that despite heightened security at the event, which took place just two weeks after fellow YouTuber Christina Grimmie‘s death, she still felt unsafe.

During her meet and greet, Gabi‘s personal security guard noticed a suspicious older man waiting in line who was holding a binder filled with photos of her and her sister Niki.

The event’s security asked the man to leave and promised he wouldn’t be in the audience of Niki and Gabi‘s panel later in the day. Despite their assurance, the man still ended up in the crowd and inched closer to the stage throughout the panel.

Gabi says that she was terrified and couldn’t understand why no one was asking the man to leave, even when he took to the microphone during the Q&A and began saying bizarre things.

Much of the crowd began to leave and Niki and Gabi had to run off the stage.

Thankfully, everyone was okay but the experience was enough for Gabi to no longer want to attend the event.
